Faraday Future, after the showing off its beautiful FFZero1 concept car earlier this year, has unveiled its new factory, which has begun construction in Las Vegas, Nevada, the same state as Telsa’s Gigafactory. The Apex Industrial Park – a 3-million square-foot facility, which will handle the manufacture the company’s series of as-yet-unknown electric car fleet – is due to be completed in 2018, backed by $335 million of incentives from the state of Nevada.

‘”Our aim is to complete a program that would normally take four years and do it in half the time, while still doing it right,” Dag Reckhorn, Faraday Future global manufacturing Vice President, told the Daily Mail.

“We are moving extremely quickly for a project of this size,” Reckhorn added. “We have received tremendous support from local government officials and the community, and look forward to making a significant, positive impact on the local economy.”

Faraday Future revealed its remarkable new concept car, the FFZero1, at CES 2016 back in January, where it earned comparisons to the Batmobile and was described by the company as “the most extreme iteration of what it can build.”

“To be like the Batmobile is not a bad thing right?’ Chief Designer Richard Kim said. ‘If Batman wants to drive this then tell him to come and talk to me.”
